Fun with Banners

I LOVE, LOVE all the banners I've seen around lately!  My biggest PTI wish right now is a build-your-own banner set!! I'd love that so much!!  I know other companies also have banner sets and I might cave if PTI doesn't come out with one but I just LOVE how PTI makes their sets and the thought that goes into the various elements and how all the elements work together! 

Earlier this week I showed you how I used the Up, Up & Away set to make a boat.   Now, I've used it to create my banner!  Today I am on a getaway with Amy, Barb & Laurie and we were each to make a shoebox swap project.  This is the one that I came up with.  Hope they like it! 

I stamped the kite image on white paper and then cut out the top triangles to make the banner.  I attached each one with a glue dot so that they could have a little "movement" on the bottom and then also attached the pearl at the tip. 

Thanks for stopping by today!! I hope you enjoyed this card!!  Have a great weekend!

Pink Thank You

Obviously, I'm loving this stamp set lately!  I tend to go in waves.  It's like I can't just use a stamp set once, I have to make multiple cards with it before I put it away and pull out another one! :)

It's hard to tell but the Hibiscus Burst panel is popped up with thin pop dots.  I hope you enjoyed this card!  Thanks for stopping by!

Up, Up & Away...Boats?

I was playing with my PTI "Up, Up & Away" stamps yesterday and discovered that if you just stamp part of the kite stamp it looks like a boat!  What is even cooler about this was that earlier in the day I had cut some felt with the eyelet border die and the leftover piece I had looked like waves.  I wasn't sure what I would do with it, since I don't have boat stamps (that I can think of anyway) but I set it aside for later.  And, amazingly I actually had a use for it that very day!!

Here's a closeup of the "boats".  I stamped the bottoms at the edge of the kraft cardstock and then covered the bottom with the felt.  Doesn't that sunshine impression plate add to the "oceany" feel?

I LOVE finding non-conventional ways to use my stamps!  This just adds one more way to use this already versatile set...oh, and I LOVE those clouds too and find I want to use them in everything. 

Thanks for coming by!  Hope you liked this card!

Blooming Tree

I just LOVE when the trees start blooming in the Spring!  This card was designed with that in mind, yet I still kept it "earthy".

I stamped "Text Style II" on the background of the tree & border and also added tiny flowers from the CHA "Floral Fusion" set.  I bought some "vintage" twine from an antique store and tied that around the panel to add just a little more texture and visual interest.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you liked this card!  Have a great day!
